The Shownotes:

• Theme of the Episode: This episode’s topic is feedback, and we all talk about how we deal with feedback and strategies for coping better with it and learning from it.
• Fantastic Forum Post and Mailbag: We talk about how to (and if one should) tell a client random ideas (asked by Amber of Mintyfreshdesign.com), and how to get past creative block or just general burnout. We mention Creative Paw, a place to find work that will benefit animals and wildlife conservation, and John (that’s me) feels he should mention in the show notes Ashoka, which pairs skilled volunteers with nonprofit initiatives that need them.
• Freelance Radio Recommends…: Each panelist recommends a freelancing tool. John goes with invaluable financial tool Mint.com, Dickie recommends the Lightroom 2 beta for photographers and would-be photo junkies and Kristen proposes Twitter, an amazing microblogging/social networking site.
• Twitter? Yes!: A lot of the folks involved with Freelance Radio Tweet regularly…follow them!
